In Hebrews 9:23-28, shows animals were sufficient for the earthly tabernacle and ministry of men, but not for the heavenly. Jesus had to offer His blood in the Holy Place, heaven. He did this before God for us, that is, on our behalf; once and for all.
Jesus appeared the first time to put away sin. The second time He will come apart from sin—not to bear man’s sin again, but to give us eternal salvation. Notice, this is for those who “eagerly wait for Him.” Are we eagerly waiting?

Completed. Hold fast to Christ and we too can look for him in judgement. A looking for good, a home in heaven with Him.

I specially like these two verses
v 27. “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement,”
v 28 “so Christ was offered to tkae away the sins of the people; and he will appear a second time, to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him”.
